WebCampus Grade Integration with MyUNLV

Body

Instructors will have the option to load their WebCampus final course grades into their MyUNLV grade rosters. With this feature, instructors who use WebCampus to calculate grades will not need to manually enter grades into MyUNLV. For grade push to work, you will need to configure your WebCampus course and ensure all students have grades entered.

Only individuals listed as a Primary or Secondary Instructor for a course in MyUNLV will have the ability to load grades from WebCampus.

Preparing Your WebCampus Course

Enable a Grading Scheme

A grading scheme is required to convert scores within WebCampus to letter grades to send to MyUNLV. You can only use one grading scheme per course. If you have students in your class who are receiving anything other than a standard letter grade, you will need to manually enter those grades in MyUNLV.

All courses have a default grading scheme available, however, you can create a custom grading scheme to assign letter grades to score ranges.

Open your WebCampus course. From left course menu, select Settings
Toward the bottom, locate Grading Scheme and turn on Enable course grading scheme.
From the drop down box, select the Default Canvas grading scheme. Or, if one has been created for your department/college select it from the list. You can confirm how grades will be translated to letter grades by selecting View (a). If you need to create a new grading scheme (b), you can create a new one.
Select Update Course Details to save your settings.

Once the setting is applied, a letter grade will appear next to the percentage or total points listed in the Total column of your gradebook.

Errors When Updating Grading Scheme

If you encounter any of the error messages below, see the recommended workaround/fix:

Course dates error when clicking Update Course Details - In the course Settings, change the Participation from Term to Course, then click on Update Course Details again.
Invalid Entry when creating a new grading scheme using Grade by Points - Canvas limits the maximum points you can designate for an A to 100. If your course is worth more than 100 points, you will need to use Grade by Percentage instead when creating a new Grading Scheme.

Assign zero grades to Missing Assignments in WebCampus

By default, WebCampus excludes ungraded assignments from the student's grade calculation, which may cause inaccurate final calculations. It is recommended that you enter a zero (0) for missing submissions. Zeros can be manually entered in the gradebook or you can set a missing grade policy to automatically assign a 0.

How WebCampus evaluates Missing Grades

A submission is labeled missing when the due date has passed and it has no submission. Before applying a missing grade policy to WebCampus Grades be sure that all graded items have updated due dates. If you copied content from a previous semester and apply a missing/late grade policy prior to updating the due dates, it will flag the students' submission as late or missing and automatically assign a 0 for each student. The only way to revert this is to manually remove all zeros.

Loading WebCampus Grades into MyUNLV

Once you have enabled your grading scheme and entered zeros for missing submissions, you are now ready to load your WebCampus grades into MyUNLV's Grade Roster.

Review your course and grades before pulling them into MyUNLV

Before pulling your grades into MyUNLV, verify:

Your course has the correct grading scheme
All assignments have grades (either a score, zero or EX (for excused))
Student's final grade calculation is correct

Access the Grade Roster in MyUNLV

You won't be able to enter grades until your Grade Roster is available. See How to Enter Final Grades for more information.

Sign into MyUNLV.
From the Faculty Homepage, select Grade Rosters icon.
Check the course name to ensure you are viewing the correct roster. If necessary, select Change Class to switch classes.
Select the Grade Roster icon to the left of the class title to open the grade roster.

Authorize to WebCampus

One time process: You only need to complete this authorization step once. If you already completed this step, you will not see the Authorize to WebCampus button and can proceed to the Loading WebCampus Grades section.

Only individuals listed as a Primary or Secondary Instructor in MyUNLV will see the Authorize to WebCampus. If you are listed as an Administrative Assistant or Teaching Assistant in MyUNLV, you will not see the Authorize to WebCampus or Load grades from WebCampus buttons.

In the Grade Roster Action section, select Authorize to WebCampus
On the Grades to MyUNLV page, verify that your name and email address is listed and click Authorize.
You will be redirected back to the MyUNLV grade roster with an Authorization successful message. Select OK.

Loading WebCampus Grades Into MyUNLV

From your course's grade roster in MyUNLV, select Load grades from WebCampus in the Grade Roster Action box.

Grades from your WebCampus course will be downloaded once you select Load grades. This may take a few minuites if there are many students in the section. Do not leave the page until the download is complete.
Once grades have been uploaded, they will be visible in the Roster Grade column. Review the grades to make sure they are correct. Some grades may either need additional information or be manually changed in MyUNLV.
- F - You will need to report the student's last date of attendance.
- Incomplete (I) - Incomplete grades will need to be manually assigned in MyUNLV as it will pull in the students' total grade from WebCampus. You will also need to enter the last date of attendance.
- Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (SUS) - S/U grades will need to be manually entered.
- Auditing (AUD) - A grade of AD will automatically be applied.
- Withdrawn (WD) - A grade of WD will automatically applied.
Once you have reviewed all grades, from the Approval Status drop down menu in the Grade Roster Action box, select Approved.
Select Save.

Once grades are approved, they cannot be edited. If you need to go back and change grades:

If it is the same day in which the status was changed to Approved, you can change the approval status back to Not Reviewed to make changes.
Grades are then posted during nightly processing. Once the status has changed to Posted, grades will be shown to students, and you will need to submit a grade change request to make further changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my grades from WebCampus (Canvas) be automatically loaded into MyUNLV?

No. Instructors must initiate the loading of WebCampus grades from the MyUNLV grade roster.

When can I begin loading my WebCampus grades into MyUNLV?

You can begin loading grades as soon as the MyUNLV grade rosters are created for the semester. Grade rosters for regular and mid-semester courses are generated the first day of finals week and for modular courses, they are generated on the last day of the course.

If I do not use WebCampus can I still manually enter grades in MyUNLV?

Yes. This is an optional feature and instructors will still have the ability to manually enter grades into MyUNLV.

Can I change a student's grade after they are loaded into the MyUNLV grade roster?

As long as your grades have not been approved or posted, you will still have the ability to change a student's grade in the MyUNLV grade roster.

Can anyone who has access to my WebCampus course (e.g. another instructor or TA) or someone who has administrative assistant access in MyUNLV use this feature?

No. You must be listed as the course's Primary or Secondary Instructor in MyUNLV in order to load grades from WebCampus. If an individual is listed as a Teaching Assistant and Administrative Assistant or not assigned to a course in MyUNLV, they will not have access to the Authorize to WebCampus or Load grades from WebCampus buttons in the MyUNLV grade roster.

If a student's name is listed differently in my Webcampus gradebook and the MyUNLV grade/class roster, how will it know who to assign the final grade to?

This tool uses the student's NSHE ID to identify who to assign the final grade to.

How can I view my students' NSHE ID in my WebCampus Gradebook?

You can display a student's NSHE ID next to their name in the WebCampus gradebook by changing the display secondary info (Integration ID) option.

The default grading scheme listed in WebCampus does nt align with my course's grading scale, can I still use this feature?

Yes. You can create your own grading scheme in WebCampus.

I tried to set up my own grading scheme in WebCampus to grade by points, but I received a message saying that the Range must be a valid number and it will not save, how do I fix this?

Canvas limits the maximum points you can designate for an A to 100. If your course is worth more than 100 points, you will need to convert your grading scale to a percentage and use the Grade by Percentage option when creating a new Grading Scheme.

I applied a grade posting policy in WebCampus to assign 0's to missing submissions, why did it add zeros to all assignments, even ones not due yet?

This typically happens if the grade posting policy is applied to your gradebook before your assignments' due dates have been updated. You will need to manually remove the 0's from your gradebook.

I applied a grade posting policy in WebCampus to assign 0's to missing submissions, why did it not add zeros to the missing submissions?

The grade posting policy only goes into effect after an assignment's due date has passed. If your assignments or quizzes do not have due dates, it will not automatically assign a 0 for missing submissions.

Why is the grade being loaded in the MyUNLV grade roster different from the one listed in the Total column in my WebCampus gradebook?

A value must be entered for all items in the gradebook. If a grade is not entered, the Total column will exclude that assignment from the final grade calculation for the student. If the student missed the assignment and it will count against them, enter a 0. If the assignment will not count against the student's final grade, mark that student's submission as Excused.
